Reply To: “Four and Twenty Elders”

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

I love this idea of the 24 hours of the day governed by God, and I think it fits very well with the notes about this this verse in Rev. G. A. Kratzer’s ‘Revelation Interpreted’ on the ‘publications’ section of the Plainfield website – (starting on page 107). This refers to the elders as ‘symbolising the leading ideas or manifestations of Mind, such as liberty, justice, changelessness, purity and the like..’ and that the phrases ‘clothed in white raiment’ and ‘on their heads crowns of gold’ indicate that the elders are ‘free from sin, and crowned with the authority of God.’ Thank you very much JoanneF, thank you to the lesson writer, and thank you Plainfied Church for the opportunities to learn more about the Bible.
